Hello and welcome. It is Eric Erickson here across the nation.

Delighted to have you with me. Really am just thrilled you're with me.

877-9773-745 is the full number.

If you want to be on the program, what a day.

I hope the weather is beautiful where you are.

Three more hours and then I'm going to go take my 13 year old to lose golf balls with

me. Okay. Before I get started with the big news, I got to tell you actually a really impressive

thing happened and I'm really floored by it and I thank you all so much you know we started out trying

to raise $25,000 for the Salvation Army and before I even got on air yesterday we'd already hit it so

We only wanted to raise 50.

Well, we raised it to 100.

Now we've raised it to 200, but we're at $138,896.

That's our benchmark for the start of the program.

If we can raise $5,000 from listeners in this hour, this company will add an extra $5,000. So, I mean, that'll put us at $148,000 raise. We'll be right on the cusp of 150. So if we can do that in this hour, if you guys can find it in

your hearts, be generous, give $5,000, this company will add $5,000 to it. And if you are a company,
